It doesn't seem like there's an equivalent restriction in the HyperSpec, rme.

verisimilitude: seems CCL use MEMQ to match lambda list keywords. see `verify-lambda-list' https://github.com/Clozure/ccl/blob/003917cbbce90b7a7b5fa4bf90e9fe424e5637e9/level-1/l1-clos-boot.lisp

what's currently recommended way to setup tests? I used to add perform method which loads the system and does symbol-call in my asd file but after upgrading sbcl I'm getting warnings about deprecated recursive use of (ASDF/OPERATE:OPERATE 'ASDF/LISP-ACTION:LOAD-OP...
3:34:55
verisimilitude
What's your opinion on this issue, ldb; do you think CCL violates the standard by disallowing this?
3:45:31
ldb
verisimilitude: CCL's code base is quite old, and since CLTL2 mentioned that and CLHS seems has no spec about it, I won't consider it as violation. One more reason I discourage to use `&' prefixed words as variables is it confuses syntax highliting.
3:46:46
verisimilitude
I found that more interesting than anything; so much of the Emacs Common Lisp syntax highlighting is unintelligent to the point of amusing more than frustrating.
3:55:02
verisimilitude
Then again, I'm also careful to change idioms and whatnot to ``writing'' rather than ``speaking'' or ``talking'' when using a medium like this.
3:57:30
verisimilitude
How would one pronounce ``ugt'', anyway; I'd figure ``ugh'' with a hard ``t'' sound at the end.
4:44:02
verisimilitude
The cl-ecma-48.lisp file is updated, but I've not updated the cl-ecma-48.tgz file, yet.
4:46:16
verisimilitude
I was careful to double check my searching and replacing, but do tell me if it doesn't work, which means I made a mistake somewhere with that.
4:47:01
verisimilitude
Then again, you were probably loading that to load ACUTE-TERMINAL-CONTROL, I suppose.

asarch
One stupid question: how would you create a function at runtime? Can you give me please an example
6:24:12
verisimilitude
Actually, that's an old version of the code; I suppose I forgot to upload the latest version.

verisimilitude: SICL: SICL is a (perhaps futile) attempt to re-implement Common Lisp from scratch, hopefully using improved programming and bootstrapping techniques. See https://github.com/robert-strandh/SICL
6:43:20
minion
verisimilitude: Cleavir: A project to create an implementation-independent compilation framework for Common Lisp. Currently Cleavir is part of SICL, but that might change in the future
6:50:05
beach
The code generator of the compiler will obviously contain a few lines of assembler, of course.
6:51:16
beach
LdBeth: I don't think I have a published paper on the basic organization of SICL or Cleavir. I am waiting until I have a more complete system.
6:55:00
verisimilitude
I also have ambitions to eventually create a Common Lisp system, but I'm currently working on a machine code development environment, so that's a ways away.
6:56:12
verisimilitude
The machine code development environment is in-progress, which prevents me from using it to work on a Common Lisp implementation is what is meant.
6:57:17
beach
verisimilitude: I am trying to figure out how developing a Common Lisp system would depend on a machine code environment.
6:57:35
beach
verisimilitude: It is far from done, but it would probably use something like that, yes.
6:57:56
verisimilitude
So, I intend to write most of the COMMON-LISP package in Common Lisp, implementing primitives and whatnot in machine code.
6:58:11
verisimilitude
Will this implementation provide its own mechanism to exit; if so, I'll add it to SHUT-IT-DOWN already.
6:58:34
loke
Is there a way to print a symbol using the conventions of readtable-case :INVERT, without actually changing the readtable?
6:58:35
beach
verisimilitude: Let's discuss that in a few years when I have made some more progress.
6:59:05
verisimilitude
Writing a language entirely in itself can be interesting, but I find it much easier to simply write the base in something else.
7:00:33
verisimilitude
I find it much easier to think about having precise control over the compiled result if it's not written in itself.
7:01:59
verisimilitude
This is my website; I don't currently have any material on this planned Common Lisp implementation, however.
7:03:33
beach
verisimilitude: If you have any questions about SICL, I'll be happy to answer them. But right now, I am off to run some errands.
7:03:45
loke
verisimilitude: I do, but I find it a bit ugly. But perhaps I have the wrong sense of æthetics.
7:04:26
verisimilitude
A brief summary of a sentence or so, if possible, would be appreciated, when you get the time, beach.
7:14:39
phoe
verisimilitude: SICL is a highly modular CL implementation written in CL and bootstrapped from CL.
7:15:31
verisimilitude
I use Emacs with Ghostscript to read PDFs, but my GuixSD X11 Emacs is currently defective; I'm using no-x Emacs, currently.
7:23:12
verisimilitude
I would just run X11 and Emacs, but there are a few other things I sometimes need to do that prevent that right now.
7:33:20
LdBeth
Even you’re still young physically, you mind gets older(and mature) when you start using CL
10:04:51
Shinmera
I have yet to see an explanation as to why anyone would ever push NIL onto features to begin with.
10:08:53
phoe
Shinmera: (pushnew nil *features*) is a magical way to break a lot of Lisp code in unexplainable ways
10:08:57
jackdaniel
just as C is easier to read because you don't have to count the parenthesis ;) I'd say it is a matter of getting used to it, but #+NIL being semantically wrong is a fact from the specification standpoint and the programmer's desired effect
10:10:43
phoe
and if I wanted to use code that's only incorrect in some circumstances rather than code that's correct period, I'd be using Javascript
10:12:54
Shinmera
phoe: Whether people write correct code or not has nothing to do with the language.
10:22:41
Shinmera
Personally I just comment things out. With expand-region bound to C-q, that's just as quick as C-q M-;
12:49:13
Xach
Hmm, I wonder if there's an existing easy way to "refactor" the frequent use of a complex accessor into a local variable in emacs.
13:03:24
Xach
I don't think I need a macro at all. I want to bind a value instead of computing it over and over.
13:04:16
Xach
schweers: in the near future archive integrity will be checked by signature and digest. but the composition of the archive is still a weak point.
13:05:06
Xach
there will be confidence that code comes from the expected place, but it might be bad code.
13:06:04
Xach
Anyway, I can do what I want fairly easily enough manually, with a combination of paredit, some typing, and query-replace.
13:09:35
_death
Xach: I don't use redshank, but I'd likely do something like that with multiple-cursors

English is not my native language, now it tries to be. I always forget one word and have trouble remembering it, there is something wrong with it. Endorse is heard from marketing leaflets waving salesmen with a previous career. Thank you for reminding it to me, verisimilitude.
